Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0022239, filed Feb. 28, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present disclosure relates to a medium pick-up apparatus, a medium processing apparatus, and a financial device.
- Generally, financial devices are devices that process financial business that is desired by a customer. The financial devices deposit or withdraw a medium or automatically transfer the medium.
- The financial device comprises a medium storage box for storing a medium. The medium storage box may have one medium storage space or a plurality of medium storage spaces.
- In case of the medium storage box having the plurality of medium storage spaces, a transfer unit for depositing and withdrawing a medium may be provided with the same number as the medium storage spaces. The transfer unit comprises a feed roller and gate roller for depositing a medium, a pick-up roller for picking up the medium to withdraw the medium, and a driving part for driving the feed roller and/or the pick-up roller.
- Thus, in the case of the medium storage box, since the transfer unit having the same number as the medium storage space is provided, the medium storage space within the medium storage box may be reduced in size. In addition, the medium storage box may be complicated in structure, and thus, manufacturing costs of the financial device may increase.
- In the medium storage box according to the related art, if a sensor senses that a predetermined number of media are picked up, an operation of the pick-up roller may be stopped. However, even though the operation of the pick-up roller is stopped, the pick-up roller may rotate at a predetermined angle by an inertia effect. When the pick-up roller rotates at the predetermined angle, the medium that does not have to be picked up may be picked up to cause a defect in which the medium is jammed between the feed roller and the gate roller. In this case, a back feeding (that is an operation in which the feed roller rotates in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the feed roller when the medium is withdrawn) may be performed to move the medium, which is jammed between the feed roller and the gate roller, again into the medium storage space. Also, even though the back feeding is performed, in some cases, the back feeding may not be normally performed or may interfere with a medium to be picked up in the following process to cause a pick-up obstacle of the medium.
- Embodiments provide a medium pick-up apparatus, a medium processing apparatus, and a financial device.
- In one embodiment, a medium pick-up apparatus comprises: a support plate to support a medium; a pick-up roller unit comprising a pick-up roller for picking up the medium; a detection unit to detect the number of medium that is picked up by the pick-up roller; and a pick- up roller moving device to move the pick-up roller unit to space the pick-up roller unit from the medium supported by the support plate when the pick-up of predetermined number of medium is detected by the detection unit.
- In another embodiment, a medium processing apparatus comprises: a medium depositing and withdrawing unit through which a medium is deposited or withdrawn; a medium storage box to store the medium that is deposited or withdrawn; and a detection unit to detect the medium that is deposited or withdrawn, wherein at least one of the medium depositing and withdrawing unit and the medium storage box comprises: a pick-up roller for picking up the medium stacked in a medium storage space; and a pick-up roller moving device to move the pick-up roller in a direction away from remaining medium in the medium storage space when predetermined number of medium are withdrawn from the medium storage space.
- In further another embodiment, a financial device comprises: a customer information acquisition unit to acquire customer information; a user interface to display a menu and information for depositing or withdrawing, the user interface inputting or selecting a command or information for depositing or withdrawing; and a medium processing apparatus that stores a medium deposited by a customer to deposit the deposited medium and withdraws stored medium to the customer to withdraw the withdrawn medium, wherein, when the medium processing apparatus picks up a portion of media stacked in a medium storage space by using a pick-up roller to withdraw the picked medium from the medium storage space, the pick-up roller is spaced apart from remaining media of the media stacked in the medium storage space after the portion of the media is withdrawn from the medium storage space.

For example, the customer information acquisition unit may acquire information recorded in an RFID tag or USB or acquire customer's information by using customer's fingerprint. - Also, the
financial device 1 may further comprise auser interface 12 for displaying a menu and information for depositing or withdrawing a medium or inputting or selecting a command or information for depositing or withdrawing the medium. - Hereinafter, the
medium storage box 20 will be described in detail. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating an inner surface of a medium storage box according to an embodiment,FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a state in which a pick-up roller is connected to a connection member according to an embodiment, andFIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a connection relationship between a feed roller and the pick-up roller according to an embodiment. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 to 4 , themedium storage box 20 according to the current embodiment comprises ahousing 200 defining an exterior thereof. - The
housing 200 may comprise afirst passage 201 through which a first medium is deposited or withdrawn, asecond passage 202 through which a second medium is deposited, and athird passage 203 through which the second medium is withdrawn. The first medium may be deposited or withdrawn through thefirst passage 201. On the other hand, the second medium may be deposited through thesecond passage 202 and withdrawn through thethird passage 203. - Also, the
housing 200 may comprise afirst support plate 211 for supporting the first medium and asecond support plate 212 for supporting the second medium. Thus, in the current embodiment, a plurality of medium storage spaces for storing the media are partitioned in themedium storage box 20. - Here, the same kind of media or different kinds of media may be stored in the plurality of medium storage spaces. Alternatively, media different from each other may be stored in the plurality of medium storage spaces. For example, a medium that is determined as a normal state by a discrimination part (not shown) may be stored in the first medium storage space, and a medium that is determined as an abnormal state by the discrimination part or a medium that is not received by the customer may be stored in the second medium storage space. The current embodiment is not limited to kind and state of medium stored in each of the storage spaces.
- The
second support plate 212 is disposed above thefirst support plate 211. That is, the first andsecond support plates second support plates second support plates third passage 203 may be defined above thefirst passage 201, and thesecond passage 202 may be defined above thethird passage 203. That is, thethird passage 203 may be defined between thefirst passage 201 and thesecond passage 202. - Each of the first and
second support plates medium storage box 20 by an independent driving part. - The
medium storage box 20 comprises afirst feed roller 221 andfirst gate roller 225 for inserting the first medium and a pick-uproller 222 for selectively picking up the first or second medium to withdraw the stored first or second medium. - For example, the
first gate roller 225 may receive a rotation force from thefirst feed roller 221 to rotate in a direction opposite to that of thefirst feeder roller 221. In the current embodiment, since the rotation of thefirst feed roller 221 and thefirst gate roller 225 may be realized by the well-known structure, their detailed descriptions will be omitted. - The pick-up
roller 222 and thefirst feed roller 221 may be connected to each other by abelt 223. For another example, the pick-uproller 222 and thefirst feed roller 221 may be driven by a separate driving part. - The pick-up
roller 222 may be disposed between the first support plate and thesecond support plate 212 so that the pick-uproller 222 selectively picks up the first or second medium. - A
separation roller 226 for striking the first medium to easily drop down may be connected to a rotation shaft of thefirst gate roller 225. - Also, the
medium storage box 20 may further comprise afirst detection unit 401 for detecting the number of first medium that is deposited or withdrawn (or picked up by the pick-up roller). For example, thefirst detection unit 401 may comprise a light emitting sensor and a light receiving sensor. For example, in the current embodiment, it may be determined that the medium is not detected when light emitted from the light emitting sensor does not reach the light receiving sensor. The current embodiment is not limited to a kind offirst detection unit 401 and a method for detecting the medium. - The
medium storage box 20 may further comprise asecond feed roller 227 andsecond gate roller 228 for inserting the second medium, athird gate roller 229 for withdrawing the second medium together wither thefirst feed roller 221, and apressing plate 213 for pressing the second medium when the second medium is withdrawn. - For example, the
second feed roller 227 may rotate by receiving a rotation force from thefirst feed roller 221 or rotate by a separate driving part that is different from the driving part of thefirst feed roller 221. Also, thesecond gate roller 228 may rotate in a direction opposite to that of thesecond feed roller 227 by receiving a rotation force from thesecond feed roller 227 or rotate by a frictional force with the second medium that is deposited. - The
pressing plate 213 may be disposed above thesecond support plate 212. Thepressing plate 213 may press the second medium stored on thesecond support plate 212 toward the pick-uproller 223 when the second medium is withdrawn. Thepressing plate 213 may vertically move by a separate driving part that is different from the driving part for driving thesecond support plate 212. - Also, the
medium storage box 20 may further comprise asecond detection unit 402 for detecting the number of second medium that is withdrawn (or the number of second medium that is picked up by the pick-up roller). Thesecond detection unit 402 may be equal to or different from thefirst detection unit 401. The current embodiment is not limited to a kind ofsecond detection unit 402 and a method for detecting the medium. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , a first rotation shaft of thefirst feed roller 221 and asecond rotation shaft 242 of the pick-uproller 222 may pass through theconnection member 340. Also, thesecond rotation shaft 241 of thefirst feed roller 221 may pass through aframe 205 provided in thehousing 200. - A
hook part 342 is disposed on theconnection member 340. Thehook part 342 may be disposed parallel to thesecond rotation shaft 242 of the pick-uproller 222 to pass through theframe 205. Ahook hole 209 through which thehook part 342 passes may be defined in theframe 205. In the current embodiment, thehook part 342 may be a protrusion that protrudes from theconnection member 340 or a shaft that is coupled to theconnection member 340. The current embodiment is not limited to a shape of thehook part 342. - The
connection member 340 may rotate with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241. To allow the connection member 240 to rotate with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241, thehook hole 209 may have an arc shape so that thehook part 342 is movable. Also, one end of anelastic member 350 may be connected to thehook part 342, and the other end of theelastic member 350 may be connected to theframe 205. Theelastic member 350 may provide an elastic force, which pulls the hook part downward, to thehook part 342. - When the
connection member 340 rotates with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241, thesecond rotation shaft 242 connected to theconnection member 340 may rotate together with theconnection member 340. That is, thesecond rotation shaft 242 may have a variable height. - In
FIG. 2 , to withdraw the second medium, thesecond support part 212 may move downward toward the pick-uproller 222. However, in this state, since thesecond rotation shaft 242 is lower than thefirst rotation shaft 241 with respect to a bottom surface of thehousing 200, even though thesecond support part 212 descends, the pick-uproller 222 may not contact the second medium that is disposed on thesecond support part 212. Thus, to pick up the second medium, thesecond rotation shaft 242 of the pick-uproller 222 may move by a pick-up roller moving device. - Particularly, the pick-up roller moving device may comprise a clutch 300 connected to the
first rotation shaft 241 and a power transmission connected to the clutch 300 to receive a rotation force of thefirst rotation shaft 241, thereby transmitting the rotation force to thehook part 342 of theconnection member 340. - For example, the clutch 300 may be an electric clutch. When the clutch 300 is turned on, the clutch 300 may transmit a power of the
first rotation shaft 241 to the power transmission. - The power transmission may comprise a transmission gear connected to the clutch 300 and a
rotating lever 320 connected to thetransmission gear 310 by atransmission belt 330.Pulleys transmission belt 330 is surrounded may be provided on thetransmission gear 310 and therotating lever 320, respectively. Also, a plurality ofprotrusions 323 may be radially disposed around therotating lever 320. The plurality ofprotrusions 323 may be spaced a predetermined angle from each other with respect to a rotational center axis of therotating lever 320. Although the plurality ofprotrusions 323 are disposed at an angle of about 120 degrees with respect to the rotational center of therotating lever 320 inFIG. 2 , the number ofprotrusions 323 and an arranged angle of theprotrusions 323 may be different according to a ascending height of thehook part 342 in the current embodiment. - One of the plurality of
protrusions 323 of therotating lever 320 may selectively contact thehook part 342 while therotating lever 320 rotates. After theprotrusion 323 contacts thehook part 342, thehook part 342 may be lifted. - The
hook part 342 that is lifted by therotating lever 320 may be fixed in position by aposition fixing unit 370. Theposition fixing unit 370 may be rotatably connected to theframe 205 by therotation shaft 371. Theposition fixing unit 370 may comprise ahook 372 to which thehook part 342 is hooked. Aguide surface 373 for easily lifting thehook part 342 along thehook 372 may be disposed on a lower portion of thehook 372. Theguide surface 373 may be an inclined surface. - The
position fixing unit 370 may be connected to an elastic member (not shown). The elastic member may provide an elastic force to thehook 372 of theposition fixing unit 370 so that thehook 372 rotates in a direction in which thehook part 342 is hooked. - The
position fixing unit 370 may further comprise anextension part 374. A drivingpart 360 for operating theposition fixing unit 370 may be connected to theextension part 374. For example, the drivingpart 360 may be a solenoid and comprise anoperation bar 362 that is capable of translational motion. Although not shown, theoperation bar 362 may be connected to theextension part 374 by a pin. Here, a groove or hole defined in theextension part 374 and connected to the pin may have an arc shape to inhibit the rotation force from being transmitted into the pin when theposition fixing unit 370 rotates at a predetermined angle in one direction. On the other hand, the drivingpart 360 may be a motor. The present disclosure is not limited to a kind of drivingpart 360. - Hereinafter, a process for inserting or withdrawing first and second media will be described.
-
FIG. 5 is a view of a process in which first and second media are deposited according to an embodiment. - Although the first and second media are deposited into the medium storage box at the same time in
FIG. 5 , one of the first and second media may be deposited, and then, the other one may be deposited. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a first medium M1 may be deposited into thehousing 200 through the first passage 210. The first medium M1 deposited into thehousing 200 may drop onto thefirst support plate 211 by thefirst feed roller 221 and thefirst gate roller 225. Here, thefirst feed roller 221 rotates in a counterclockwise direction inFIG. 5 , and thefirst gate roller 225 rotates in a clockwise direction. Also, if the number of first medium M1 that is deposited increases, thefirst support plate 211 descends. - A second medium M2 is deposited into the
housing 200 through thesecond passage 202. The second medium M2 deposited into thehousing 200 may drop onto thesecond support plate 212 by thesecond feed roller 227 and thesecond gate roller 228. Here, thesecond feed roller 221 rotates in the clockwise direction inFIG. 5 , and thefirst gate roller 225 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Also, if the number of second medium M2 that is deposited increases, thesecond support plate 212 descends. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , while the first medium M1 is deposited into the medium storage box, the clutch 300 may be turned off, and thus, the rotation force of thefirst rotation shaft 241 may not be transmitted into thetransmission gear 310. -
FIG. 6 is a view of a process in which the first medium is withdrawn, and the second medium is deposited according to an embodiment. - Although the second medium is deposited while the first medium is withdrawn in
FIG. 6 , one of the insertion of the first medium and the withdrawal of the second medium may be performed, and then, the other one may be performed. Since the insertion process of the second medium inFIG. 6 is equal to that inFIG. 5 , its description will be omitted. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , to withdraw the stored first medium M1, thefirst support plate 211 descends. Thefirst support plate 211 may ascend until the first medium M1 placed on thefirst support plate 211 contacts the pick-uproller 222. Then, the first medium M1 placed on thefirst support plate 211 may be picked up one sheet at a time by the pick-uproller 222. The first medium M1 that is picked up may be withdrawn to the outside of thehousing 200 through thefirst passage 201. Here, the pick-uproller 222 and thefirst feed roller 221 rotate in the clockwise direction (a first direction) inFIG. 6 . When the first medium is withdrawn, thesecond rotation shaft 242 is lower than thefirst rotation shaft 241. - When the first medium M1 is withdrawn, the clutch 300 may be maintained in a turn-off state. Thus, the rotation force of the
first rotation shaft 241 may not be transmitted into thetransmission gear 310. - While the first medium M1 is withdrawn, the number of withdrawn first medium M1 (or the number of first medium M1 that is picked up) may be detected by the
first detection unit 401. When the withdrawal of the predetermined number of first medium that has to be withdrawn is detected by thefirst detection unit 401, a control part (not shown) may turn the clutch 300 on. - Thus, the power of the
first rotation shaft 241 may be transmitted into thetransmission gear 310. Then, thetransmission gear 310 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and thetransmission belt 330 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Thus, therotating lever 320 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. - While the
rotating lever 320 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when one of the plurality ofprotrusions 323 contacts thehook part 342 of theconnection member 340, theprotrusion 323 lifts thehook part 342. When thehook part 342 is lifted, theconnection member 340 may rotate in the counterclockwise direction with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241, and thesecond rotation shaft 242 of the pick-uproller 222 may ascend together with thehook part 342 by the rotation of theconnection member 340. Also, thehook part 342 is hooked on theposition fixing unit 370. A process in which thehook part 342 is hooked on theposition fixing unit 370 will be described in detail with reference toFIGS. 7 to 9 . Also, when thehook part 342 is hooked on theposition fixing unit 370, the rotation of thefirst rotation shaft 241 of thefirst feed roller 221 may be stopped. - That is, in the current embodiment, when the withdrawal of the predetermined number of first medium M1 that has to be withdrawn is detected by the
first detection unit 401 to turn the clutch 300 on, the pick-uproller 222 may move upward to space the pick-uproller 222 from the first medium M1 placed on thefirst support part 211. - Thus, a defect in which the first medium that should not be withdrawn is picked up and jammed between the
first feed roller 221 and thefirst gate roller 225 after the predetermined number of first medium are withdrawn may be solved. - According to the related art, when the operation of the driving part for rotating the pick-up roller is stopped after the predetermined number of first medium are withdrawn, a defect in which the first medium that should not be withdrawn is picked up by rotational inertia of the pick-up roller and jammed between the
first feed roller 221 and thefirst gate roller 225 may occur. - However, according to the present invention, since the operation of the pick-up
roller 222 is stopped, and the clutch 300 is turned on after the predetermined number of first medium are withdrawn to space the pick-uproller 222 from the first medium, event though the pick-uproller 222 rotates by the inertial force, the pick-uproller 222 may not pick up the first medium M1. - In the current embodiment, the pick-up
roller 222 may be spaced from the first medium at the same time when the rotation of the pick-uproller 222 is stopped or be spaced from the first medium within a predetermined time after the rotation of the pick-uproller 222 is stopped. Here, the predetermined time may be within a time range in which a remaining first medium placed on the first support plate is not picked up when the pick-up roller rotates by the inertial force even though the power transmitted into the pick-uproller 222 is blocked. Although the power of thefirst rotation shaft 241 is transmitted into the pick-uproller 222 as described above, even though the pick-roller 222 rotates by a separate driving part, the same effect may be achieved. That is, when the operation of the pick-uproller 222 is stopped to turn the clutch 300 on after the predetermined number of first medium are withdrawn, even though the pick-uproller 222 rotates by the inertial force, since the pick-uproller 222 is spaced from the first medium M1, the pick-up of the first medium M1 by the pick-uproller 222 may be inhibited. - Also, in the above-described embodiment, although the operation of the pick-up
roller 222 is stopped when the clutch 300 is turned on, and thehook part 342 is hooked on theposition fixing unit 370, the present disclose is not limited thereto. For example, a timing at which the clutch 300 is turned on and a timing at which the operation of the pick-uproller 222 is stopped may substantially coincide with each other. In this case, even though the operation of the pick-uproller 222 is stopped, the pick-uproller 222 may further rotate for a predetermined time by the inertia. Thus, when the clutch 300 is turned on during or before the predetermined time, thehook part 342 may ascend and then be fixed to the position fixing unit. As a result, the pick-uproller 222 may be avoided from the first medium M1. Also, in this case, an inertia amount of pick-uproller 222 may be amount that is enough to secure a rotation amount for sufficiently fixing thehook part 342 to theposition fixing unit 370. -
FIGS. 7 to 9 are views of a process in which the second medium is withdrawn according to an embodiment, andFIG. 10 is a view of a state in which a position fixing unit operates by a driving part after the second medium is completely withdrawn to allow a second rotation shaft of the pick-up roller to descend. - In
FIG. 9 , the second support plate is omitted. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , to withdraw the second medium M2, thefirst rotation shaft 241 of thefirst feed roller 221 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the clutch 300 is turned on. - When the clutch 300 is turned on, the rotation force of the
first rotation shaft 241 is applied so that thetransmission gear 310 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. When thetransmission gear 310 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, thetransmission belt 330 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Thus, therotating lever 320 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. While therotating lever 320 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when one of the plurality ofprotrusions 323 contacts thehook part 342 of theconnection member 340, theprotrusion 323 lifts thehook part 342. When thehook part 342 is lifted, theconnection member 340 may rotate in the counterclockwise direction with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241, and thesecond rotation shaft 242 of the pick-uproller 222 may ascend together with thehook part 342 by the rotation of theconnection member 340. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , while thehook part 342 ascends, when thehook part 342 contacts thehook 372 of theposition fixing unit 370, thehook 372 rotates in the clockwise direction. Then, when thehook part 342 ascend up to a predetermined height, theposition fixing unit 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction by the elastic member, and thehook part 342 is hooked on thehook 372. - After the
hook part 342 is hooked on thehook 372, the rotation of thefirst feed roller 221 is stopped, and the clutch 300 is turned off. - As described above, in the state where the pick-up
roller 222 ascends, thesecond support plate 212 moves toward the pick-uproller 222. InFIG. 9 , thesecond support plate 212 descends toward the pick-uproller 222. - A hole (not shown) through which the pick-up
roller 222 passes is defined in a position of thesecond support plate 212 that corresponds to the pick-uproller 222. Thus, when thesecond support plate 212 descends, the pick-uproller 222 may pass through the hole to contact the second medium M2. Thus, the second medium M2 may be picked up by the pick-uproller 222. - Here, to smoothly pick up the second medium M2 by the pick-up
roller 222, thepressing plate 213 may descend to press the second medium M2 toward the pick-uproller 222. - Finally, the second medium M2 may be pick-up one by one by the pick-up
roller 222, and the second medium M2 that is picked up may be withdrawn to the outside of thehousing 200 through thethird passage 203. - Here, the pick-up
roller 222 and thefirst feed roller 221 may rotate in the counterclockwise direction (second direction) inFIG. 9 , and thethird gate roller 229 may rotate in the clockwise direction. - While the second medium M2 is withdrawn, the number of withdrawn second medium M2 (or the number of second medium M2 that is picked up) may be detected by the
second detection unit 402. When the withdrawal of the predetermined number of first medium that has to be withdrawn are detected by thesecond detection unit 402, a control part (not shown) may turn the driving part for driving the first feed roller off and turn the drivingpart 360 for driving theposition fixing unit 370 on. - Then, the
operation bar 362 may move upward to allow theposition fixing unit 370 to rotate in the clockwise direction. Then, the hooking between thehook 372 of theposition fixing unit 370 and thehook part 342 may be released, and thehook part 342 may move downward by a restoring force of theelastic member 350. Then, theconnection member 340 rotates in the clockwise direction with respect to thefirst rotation shaft 241, and the pick-uproller 222 returns to its original position as illustrated inFIG. 2 . - As described above, after the predetermined number of second medium M2 are withdrawn, the driving
part 360 may operate to release the hooking between theposition fixing unit 370 and thehook part 342. Then, as the pick-uproller 222 moves downward, even though the pick-uproller 222 does not rotate by the inertial, since the pick-uproller 222 does not pick up the second medium M2, it may inhibit the second medium M2 from being jammed between thefirst feed roller 229 and thethird gate roller 229. - According to the current embodiment, since the first or second medium is capable of being picked up by the single pick-up
roller 222, it is unnecessary to provide an additional pick-uproller 222. Also, the medium storage capacity within the medium storage box may increase, and the medium storage box may be simplified in structure. - In this specification, the pick-up roller, the connection member, and the hook part may be commonly called a pick-up roller unit. Also, a position of the pick-up roller unit when the first medium is deposited or withdrawn may be called a first position, and a position of the pick-up roller unit when the second medium is withdrawn may be called a second position. Also, the pick-up roller moving device may change a position of the pick-up roller unit according to a kind of medium to be picked up.
- Also, in this specification, the pick-up roller moving device may move the pick-up roller unit to pick up the second medium. Also, when the fixing between the position fixing unit and the pick-up roller unit is released, the pick-up roller unit may move downward by a self-weight thereof. On the other hand, the position fixing unit is not provided, and the pick-up roller unit may move in one direction by the pick-up roller moving device and then move (rotate) in the other direction.
- Also, in two medium storage space of one medium storage box, although the media within two medium storage spaces are selectively picked up by using one pick-up roller, the current embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the current embodiment may be applied to various devices that are capable of picking up the medium, regardless of the number of medium storage spaces or the number of pick-up rollers. For example, in a case where the medium within one medium storage space is picked up by one pick-up roller, if the pick-up roller moving device is provided, the case may be applied to the current embodiment. For example, the pick-up roller may be disposed under the support plate, and the pick-up roller may move downward by the pick-up roller moving device while the medium stacked on the support plate is picked up. Alternatively, the pick-up roller may be disposed above the support plate, and the pick-up roller may move upward by the pick-up roller moving device and thus be spaced apart from the medium placed on the support plate while the medium stacked on the support plate is picked up.
- In this specification, the support plate, the pick-up roller unit, the detection unit, and the pick-up roller moving device may be commonly called a medium pick-up apparatus.
- Also, the financial device may comprise a user interface, a customer information acquisition unit, and a medium processing apparatus. The medium processing apparatus may be understood as a concept in which the medium processing apparatus comprises the medium pick-up apparatus.
- Also, the medium processing apparatus may comprise a medium depositing and withdrawing unit, a detection unit for detecting a medium that is deposited or withdrawn, and a medium storage box for storing the deposited medium or the medium to be withdrawn.
- In the above-described embodiment, although a structure in which the medium is picked up within the medium storage box, the above-described structure may be equally applied to the medium depositing and withdrawing unit or a temporary stacking part.
- In the foregoing embodiment, when the predetermined number of first or second medium are withdrawn from the medium storage box, the pick-up roller unit may move by the pick-up roller moving device. If the first or second medium does not exist on the first or second support plate in the state where the predetermined number of first or second medium are withdrawn, even though the predetermined number of first or second medium are withdrawn, the pick-up roller moving device may not operate.
